What tools are people using to identify good markets?  

I listed it for $2,600 and had 20 people show up to the open house, got 3 qualified applicants and the unit was filled immediately.

House hacking is absolutely still a thing and many people have been successful with this strategy.

You don't have the ability to say "no" to people. 

One thing I would investigate is the disclosures required about people dying on the property. 

I still have people contacting me 2 years later asking if I know a way they can get their money back.

If the new people want the unit prior to the end of the current tenant's lease, I would tell them they would have to pay the daily rent beginning the day they got the key and took possession.
